To all:
As a comment, I recently posted a similar "This isn't working" query which
was general enough the it received no replies. I ended up removing all
versions of Java on my machine (about 6 I think) except the one I need to
use with MyEclipse, removed all Java applications that I no longer used,
and completely removed the classpath variable. When that still didn't
work, I removed and reinstalled Tomcat and Axis, and lo and behold,
everything started working just fine.
I'm pretty sure I had significant version conflict problems, various
duplicate copies of JARs, and all the good stuff. Cleanup and try again
with a minimum Java installation seems to be a good approach to a whole
host of messy Java problems, and maybe that's one of the most reasonable
suggestions you can offer.
JFE.

Good for you, Gila.
This sort of thing happens far too often and far too often we don't really
have a good account of the original problem, we are just so pleased to get
things going.

well, listen to this. I formatted my PC (not because of the axis
problem!), reinstalled the same versions of Tomcat + Apache, but used a
higher version of Java (4.1.2 instead of 4.1.0), and then I installed axis
just as before, and poof, it works. My main web application is not working
yet properly - It could be that I'll have the same problem as soon it
does. I'll find out in a day or two, and I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for the info aout the classpath. Yes, I am aware of this kind of
classpath problems... being once a young Java developer!
Thanks,
GC

I didn't precisely say "global problem with the class path" and I
sort of guessed that you would be a Java developer. I was simply
bringing your attention to the fact that countless developer-years
have been lost due to people dealing with class path problems. Your
current problem seems to be such a problem.
By moving JAR files from C:\Apache\Tomcat4\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib
to C:\Apache\Tomcat4\common\lib you should be giving them greater
exposure so more things should work. In reality you might get
versioning problems between different web applications but not under
a simple configuration.
Did you overwrite any JAR files when you moved to JAR files to
C:\Apache\Tomcat4\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib ?

Jeff,
Thanks for your reply. What do you mean by saying there is a
global problem with the class path? I am a java programmer,
can you please give me some more information? looks like I
have to know this stuff....
I tried your advice - and it got worse: now I cannot run any
other web application! Could that be the logging jars from
axis are disturbing the logging jars of my existing
applications?
Here is what I get when I try to open an existing web app:
Bad Gateway
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream
server.
Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) mod_jk2/2.0.4 Server at

And in the error log of tomcat:

Java is broken! The fact of the matter is that the one
and only show-stopper
problem with Java can be summed up in one term: 'class
path'. It's something
that some Java developers pretend doesn't exist and
novices think they have
licked...until they start to write more code!
Unfortunately, the Sun folks
think that trivia like for-each is more important than
fixing the class path
problem. Admittedly, it is a big problem and I suspect
that the solution is
going to come from someone outside of Sun setting aside
a good deal of time
to figure it out but until that happens, we will have to
put up with this
sort of insane solution...
Stop Tomcat. Move log4j-1.2.8.jar to
<Tomcat>/common/lib Start Tomcat
and test. If you still have a problem, then repeat for
commons-discovery.jar
and commons-logging.jar, together. If you still have a
problem, then repeat
for other JARs in <Tomcat>/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib
